With a dining room that overlooks Moreton Bay, Oliver's at Manly is the quintessential Australian culinary experience. The menu is Modern Australian and, as expected, seafood is a speciality. Guests can select a fine wine to go with their meal from a concise but quality list. This beachside restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus coffee and cake in between.
The success of many a restaurant has hinged on the location and hence the ambience of a place. Oliver's overlooking Manly Harbour has ambience in spades, with its white clothed tables and sophisticated European feel all ensconced in a moonlit shimmer and a cool summer breeze. Opening onto a terracotta tiled terrace, Oliver's exudes charm and is a perfect spot from which to overlook Moreton Bay while enjoying its fruits, namely seafood.
Seafood certainly takes prime position on the Modern Australian menu, which has a twist of Italian influence. Oysters aren't in short supply with four different options on offer: natural, Kilpatrick, Mornay and tempura. Entrees feature some enticing options such as creamy smoked salmon linguini with fresh rocket, or prawn and avocado salad with citrus dressing. Mains boast a number of fresh seafood options as well as something for the land lover. Get a taste of duck, stuffed veal or eye fillet steak. The grilled snapper dish with tomato-coriander sauce served with zucchini cakes, potato rosti and seasonal vegetables is the epitome of freshness. Desserts are hard to pass up with items such as creme brulee and fresh berries or profiteroles tempting the sweet tooth.
